I understand the frustration of everybody here, and I apologize for that, also I want to apologize for the delay in this answer, as I wasn't able to connect until now.
Please tell me the $5 and change that appeared in my account wasn't the total 11% of the fourth place prize.
I was expecting a big or major prize or something...even in 4th. I guess it draws more people in when you don't tell them an exact amount they can win. If the contest had said that the highest ten places would split up $45 I wouldn't even have visited the site during the contest.
When you describe the winners as being able to withdraw their winnings straight away or play with them I expected the winnings to at least be over $10. If I tried to withdraw my prize your site wouldn't even let me.
I feel like a good tricked or something.
Indeed, the prize was low, way lower than we expected, as we had some lucky gamblers and not so much volume during the contest.
But as it was said, the prize pool was 10% of the profits made during the competition, approximately $46. We understand it's ridiculously low, and we will offer better prizes next time, we are still pretty new and learning lots of things, but we are trying our best.
Me too got pretty deluded. Plus, I had to clear the very huge wagering requirement to withdraw, so I just burned this change too...
Yes, but I took the first deposit bonus, so seems I have wager 32 times it before being able to withdraw. Must of all, many games count only for a small % when it comes to determine the wagered amount.
As you enabled the deposit bonus, you have a wagering requirement before being able to withdraw your winnings.
But looks like the prize got included in the wagering requirement, and I apologize for that as I said that you would be able to cashout your winnings right away.
So, please send me a PM with your BTC address and account number on PlayBitcoinGames and I will manually send you the prize.
What? Do you all required to wager the winning prize from the wagering contest? But they did not say that there is a rollover for the winning prize, OP should clarify this thing or it might give him a very bad reputation because of his first contest. Hope it is just a small glitch on the site and you will get your prize without any requirements to withdraw.
Just for references from the announcement thread of the wagering contest :
The prizes will be added to your account balance during August 4th (monday),
then you will be able to withdraw your prize or keep playing!

http://archive.is/GwoQkAs I explained above, it happened because he had a wagering requirement from the deposit bonus.
There was no wagering requirement for the prize itself.So, if any of the winners is also having this problem, or the balance is below the minimum cashout amount and you can't withdraw the prize, please send me a PM with your account number on PlayBitcoinGames and your BTC address and I will manually send you the prize.Again, apologies for all this, we really have the best intentions, sometimes things just don't go as expected.
